More than one in 10 Americans who have a pool on their property now say it\u2019s not worth the trouble. Their biggest gripes are the expense and liability; homeowners say they spend nearly $1,500 a year to maintain their pool. Safety around the pool\u2014such as from slipping and falling on the pool deck\u2014is also a big concern.
